Starts out as a first contact with friendly aleins. Michael left the military years ago, but finds himself in the thick of things based on friendship with a General Officer and a mutual interest in science fiction. Turns out the fiendly aleins aren't very good fighters, and the bad aleins are taking over, and Earth is right in the way of the invasion fleet.
